Looking Back over 2012

So many things happened for me in 2012, it was indeed a busy year.

January saw my daughter turning one...

In March I got to meet the fabulous Theo Paphitis at the first Small Business Sunday meetup.

In June we went to see the Queen at the local park as well as seeing Prince William and Kate land on the playing fields across the road from us...

In July we were lucky enough to go to the rehearsal of the Olympic Opening Ceremony...

In September my son started school, it was a tough time and my little boy took a while to get used to it but he settled in and has come along great.

Finally an amazing magical Christmas with both children getting most excited about it for the first time.

I hope you have had a wonderful 2012 and I look forward to what 2013 will bring, I anticipate a few bumps in the road but will try my best to smooth them over.

Olympics Opening Ceremony Part 2 - The Action

My Silent Sunday picture seemed to go down really well, so I promised I would post more of my pictures from the Olympic Opening Ceremony Rehearsal that I was lucky enough to go to last Wednesday.

The English Countryside

The blue waves were great fun!

The giant clouds were great for the kids!

The man himself, the fabulously talented Mr Danny Boyle

We all live in a yellow submarine.

The amazing Olympic Rings

This wasn't picked up on the BBC but the eye's were utterly amazing, they moved and blinked and left us open mouthed!

Proud of the Red, White and Blue

One of my favourite songs of all time, Firestarter by The Prodigy

The graphic equalizer was truly awesome.

I really hope you all enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking them, it was an honour to be there and it is a moment I will remember forever.

Silent Sunday

Today I feel rather patriotic!

Last night I was honoured to be one of about 60,000 people who got to watch the technical rehearsal of the Opening Ceremony for the Olympic Games.

Until last night I was sceptical and not excited, now I am full of patriotism and super thrilled to have been given such an amazing opportunity I will never forget.

Danny Boyle has done us proud and I will be watching tomorrow night for the extra bits we didn't get to see.

I really hope that the world see's this for what it really is, a celebration of all things British and the wonderful, talented and hard working athletes from around the world that will be taking part in the games.

I cannot show you any more pictures than this for now because we were asked not to spoil the surprise.

If you have the chance to watch it tomorrow then I can totally recommend it!
